Good Dog!
- A Chicago Police dog led investigators to more than $10 million worth of pot after a traffic stop Thursday evening in south suburban Midlothian.
The CPD Bureau of Organized Crime stopped a pickup truck pulling a trailer at 6:57 p.m. Thursday in the 14200 block of Menard Avenue in Midlothian, police said. During the stop, a police dog detected the scent of pot.
A search of the truck and trailer turned up more than 1,500 pounds of marijuana and other THC products with an estimated street value of more than $10 million, police said. The driver, 42-year-old Jason Z. Tanner of Lakehead, California, was arrested and charged with a felony count of possession of more than 5,000 grams of cannabis.
Over 5,000 grams? How about over 680,000 grams? There should be a higher charge than a mere 5,000 grams (about 11 pounds.)
And OCD ought to kick in for a steak dinner.

Good Doggie!
A big ol' meaty soup bone for him...
Somebody has some explaining to do! Your Honor, I want solitary for life. GP would be the same, but a much shorter life.
A drop in the bucket.

Reading this just gave me the munchies...
Remember the Democrats said we need open borders. It's for the children of course. And if that ever happens instead of truck trailers hauling that crap it will be whole trains carrying it in.
I doubt you need a dog for that stop. My messed up allergy ridden nose could have detected that amount of cannabis!
Bond is $50,000 or $5k to walk.
How long do you think this guy will be around?
Not that he’s gonna skip bail but probably get killed for loosing this load!
It's going to get legalized, nothing anyone can do about it now.
Apparently, haggling over the Crook County Contraband Import Tax was an error in judgement for this californian entreprenuer.
So only the dog smelled it? Haha
Since when do we call it "pot" when discussing 1500lbs of illegal drugs? Maybe the scum times could call it cannabis or marijuana, and explain that it's illegal, and responsible for gang activities and violence. Calling it pot is just a way to make it seem like a harmless, legal product that the horrible police are trying to forcibly take from the fun-loving citizens. Let's just call it grass from now on, so we can all pretend it's legal and harmless, and not tied to gangs and violence.
$5,000 bond??!? What a serious message being sent to the criminals intending to break the law in Chicago. Nice job dudes, but it’s only weed. That’s precisely what that judge intended to convey. Even heroin is a joke to cook county judges and so called “prosecutors”. Unfortunately you guys are a couple decades short of when law and order sort of meant something. Oh well, but don’t worry, your still getting July 3rd through the 7th denied or cancelled! Oh by the way, bud billiken weekend too. Oh and Labor Day weekend!
Tax TaxTax that other states are collecting, Why is Illinois so far in debt?
A little OT, but it seems Milwaukee has it right. "You may recall, Ladell Harrison, the man charged in connection with the death of MPD Officer Charles Irvine Jr., which happened on June 7 during a pursuit near 76th and Silver Spring Drive, allegedly told investigators "I thought you guys couldn't pursue vehicles unless it was a felony." Detectives told Harrison that had once been the policy, but it had changed, and prosecutors say Harrison "did not appear to be aware of the change in pursuit policy." " the MPD pursuit policy -- informing people that police will chase reckless drivers.

With a last name of Tanner and first name of Jason, it doesn't sound like he came from south of the border. My guess is that his kinfolk came from across the Atlantic. This goof from California may not last long after having his haul confiscated by Rin Tin Tin.
Pot really!?!? Who really cares!?!? Legalize it already!
"What difference does it make?"
I guess nobody informed Fido to get fetal.
A number of years ago, there was discussion (and proposal in Springfield) about increasing the sentences for narcotics traffickers. The idea was that anyone over 5 or 10 kilograms should face harsher sentences. Now, the sentence is the same for having 1 kilo or 100 kilos. It went no where.
The dog was immediately stripped and sent to call back.....
While I applaud the police dog and his excellent service, it probably is no huge feat to be able to smell almost 700 kilos of dope lol.
Open borders free enterprise, tax free for the tax dependent govmint freeloader.
That’s NAFTA for the small bidness entrepreneur that obama promised.
Welcome wagon shipment to Sanctuary from Sanctuary, so Rahm’s new transplanted voters won’t feel homesick.
Wonder if that weed was home grown in Cal-Colorado or is it still too early for a West Coast harvest?
And if it’s cartel goods...oh-oh.
Give J-Z Tanner his i-bond.
We won’t regret it.
Dude is lucky he wasn’t nailed in Michigan.
I believe that amount is automatic Life in Prison.
That's alot of mota.
Give the dog a merit promotion. He ll make wiser decisions than command staff
Yeah, a plant being "illegal" certainly is responsible for gang violence...the exact same way alcohol prohibition was responsible for MOB violence.
Prohibition CREATED bootlegging. It incentivized it by driving profits for daring to engage in it through the roof.
Guess what, booze is just plants too, if you think about it rationally and honestly.
The REALITY is that "pot" being"illegal" is itself the real crime committed! The ket fact proving it is that alcohol prohibition FACT SET. Notice please, the Constitution had to be amended to give government the power to prohibit booze. It simply didnt have authority to ban it.
The first rendering of "drug war" was such a fiasco, was so deadly and backward along with wildly a undeniable failure, that the power TO prohibit it was officially stripped away, again by Constitutional Amendment.
Psst, that means authority no longer exists. Repealed equals GONE.
So then, just WHERE is the authority to ban a plant found this day? And, ironuc as it may be, if someone CAN produce Constitutional Authority, by all means exolain away the 18th and 21st Amendments! Explain WHY a dog and pony show mockery was made of our Constitution if none of it was required in the first place(which is the argument you make when you claim "commerce clause" as justification of authority to ban pot).
Time to take the red pill folks. Time to be HONEST.
Just because a thing can be shown to have detriments does NOT in and of itself produce government authority to prohibit. For if that nonsense idea takes hold, there no longer exists these things we call rights.
We dont neeeeed trials, or warrants cuz Law Enforcement woukd be much more effective without them!! We dony neeeed a right to speak, cuz some people lie! See it now...the pathetic nature of the premise called "interstate commerce? Its a CON. A scheme.
Wake up. Tell the truth.
No, pot is not good for everyone, but then neither is booze, or sugar, or coffee, or anything else. Ine cost of individual liberty itself is the freedom to choose less than perfection according to liberal orthadoxy.
Some people like a good drunk sometimes, others like a good buzz, meanwhile others get a high on life itself, and ALL mist be free to choose for themselves...call it "pursue their own happiness"!!
There is no crime when there is no victim. Someone smoking a joint produces no victim. Face that fact honestly and America rises from the ashes of liberalisms arsin.
Theyll never find him.
The CPD canine deserves to be lauded and prized and rewarded with The Old 96er! (see John Candy in The Great Outdoors movie).
I feel so much safer now that this load of devil weed is no longer on the streets corrupting young minds and hearts and turning virgins into raving sex fiends. (sarcasm)

Cannabis is not a narcotic.
So, they already knew the drugs were in the vehicle and needed to construct a parallel investigation? Do OC units typically engage in traffic stops? Someone mentioned it (weed, pot, grass, marijuana, wacky tobacky, et al.) being tied to gang violence. Not so very long ago there was another substance that was tied to gang violence, indeed a substance more widely used than grass. Then, it was legalized and the criminal element that engaged in its trade lost a huge source of income (too late though, it seems). Perhaps it is the prohibited status of the devils grass that funnels big 747 sized wheelbarrow loads of money (i.e. power) into the gangs, rather than the grass itself. Perhaps it is time that changes. I always imagined that cops would agree with this, as it would remove a significant source of funding from the organized criminal element, diminishing both their incentives and capability to engage in more violent forms of crime.
Plus, and obviously this is important, it would make the job safer for beat cops. I would lay down my arguments regarding this claim, but have gone on long enough already. I do not see a downside to legalization.
Cheers SCC, and thanks to all involved for running this rare place of honesty.

The only reason that pot, or cannabis, or marijuana is responsible for gang activities and violence is the fact that it is illegal. Legalize it, grow it, tax it, and sell it at a profit to the state and the gang aspect dries up and the underfunded pensions become fully funded in a few years.
You don't see gangs selling Pepsi on the corner do you?
im retiring next year im thinking about relocating to texas anybody know of a good location?

No illegal search. That’s what the dog was there for. Stop for traffic violation, dog smells cannabis There’s your PC
Not that easy to say. It’s not mine. You get caught with it, it’s yours. That’s why it’s called Possession and not ownership of narcotics
There’s a lot of “mules” in jail when they said it wasn’t theirs and it’s quite obvious the “mule” didn’t have the funds to pay for a large quantity of drugs

Interesting case. What were the circumstances. Article said the hammer was recovered behind a counter. Could the offender have been a store clerk dealing with the 16 year old. Just asking
Train the dogs to sniff out corruption in City, County and State government. ♠️
It wasn't a CPD K9, it was a Matteson, Il. K9 Jayden
Seriously? When compared to all the people OD'ing on opiates these days, one can't help but wonder why anyone even cares about people getting the munchies. Pot is just a plant and please don't get all high and mighty with the gate way bs, that argument died with Nancy.
It's weed....who cares....
The stop was obviously a result of intel gathering by the bureau long in advance. They didn’t happen to have a K-9 handy, they just made sure to have access to one so the dog could alert and they had PC to search.
Not trying to poo poo the dog, just saying, all interdiction busts like this are a result of the intel and surveillance. And interdiction is only big nowadays because law enforcement can seize the money. This bust, in essence, is worthless to law enforcement unless the driver starts working for us. And by making the bust big news, that can’t happen. Law enforcement doesn’t care about the seizure of drugs, it cares about the seizure of money and property. Which is fine - hitting the cartel in their wallets is far more effective than seizing plants that they are growing hundredfold of this quantity.

Seriously? The opium poppy is just a plant. As soon as gangs and violence and property crimes aren't tied to marijuana, you may have half a point. Until then, marijuana is dangerous, both for its effects on the users, who think it's ok to drive while high and drunk, and for its involvement with crime and gangs. You're not very smart. Maybe you're a plant.
The only reason that pot, or cannabis, or marijuana is responsible for gang activities and violence is the fact that it is illegal. Legalize it, grow it, tax it, and sell it at a profit to the state and the gang aspect dries up and the underfunded pensions become fully funded in a few years.

If any of your fantasy was true, wouldn't the government have legalized it everywhere long ago? It's all sunshine, rainbows, and profits. Why hasn't it happened? Why are people still buying drugs illegally in places where those drugs have been legalized? Why do people do all kinds of illegal things instead of going with the legal alternative? Guns are legal, yet people who could legally obtain guns still steal them, illegally obtain them, and use them for illegal purposes. Cars are legal, yet people choose to drive them without licenses, steal them from others, and use them to commit crimes. Gambling is legal in casinos and other licensed establishments, yet people still choose to illegally gamble, which often involves gangs and violence. Prescription drugs are legal, yet people still choose to steal them, fraudulently obtain them, sell them illegally, smuggle them, use them to get high, overdose on them, kill for them, etc. Your fantasy is just that, as has been proven throughout history, and will be proven again if marijuana is ever universally legalized. If there's money to be made, gangs and violence will be there.
Let's make everything legal then crime will disappear and we can all move to The Big Rock Candy Mountain.
I would take marijuana over opiates any day.
Bet on this January 2019 Marijuana will be legal in Illinois that is a guarantee, buy marijuana stocks now!
